IT WON'T ALWAYS START. IT WILL CLICK TO TRY TO BUT WON'T. DON'T MATTER IF IT'S HOT OR COLD. IGNATIION SWITCH BEEN CHANGED 3 TIMES. STARTER BEEN CHANGED. BATTERY BEEN CHANGED. VEHICLE IS ALWAYS AT STAND STILL. BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I PURCHASED VEHICLE IN 2014 AND THE DEAL WON'T DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.

MY HEAD LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY BLINK WHEN I TURN ON MY VEHICLE AS WELL AS WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE RUNNING LIGHTS STILL WORK BUT ITS THE HIGH AND LOW BEAM LIGHTS. THE LIGHTS WILL BLINK A FEW TIMES THEN STAY OFF. THE VEHICLE CAN BE IN MOTION OR SITTING STILL. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND RESEARCHED ONLINE AND IT LOOKS TO BE A REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE TIPM MODULE WHICH IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX. ALSO LOOKING AT THE ONLINE FORUMS, IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODULE ON A LOT OF VEHICLES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE DIAGNOSED IT TO THE TIPM. I BELIEVE SINCE THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE VEHICLES, CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THESE TIPMS SINCE THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE.

SORRY IF THIS IS A DUPLICATE I WAS KICKED OUT BEFORE I FINISHED. WHILE DRIVING ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED. POWER STEERING LOST, CAR ROLLED TO STOP AND WAS RESTARTED AND THEN DRIVEN WITHOUT PROBLEM. WHEN CHECKED WE WERE TOLD IT WAS AN IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. NHTSA RECALL BULLETIN #14V373000 NOTED THIS PROBLEM BUT THIS INDIVIDUAL VEHICLE AND PROBABLY OTHERS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. PLEASE CHECK.

SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. HAPPENS AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS, DRIVING STRAIGHT AND WHEN TURNING. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS REMAIN OPERATIONAL. DEALER UNABLE TO DUPLICATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000(ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE.

WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE THE ENGINE QUITS RUNNING AND THE VEHICLE BECOMES HARD TO HANDLE AS POWER STEERING AND BRAKES BECOME STIFF. THE ONLY CODE THAT COMES UP IS AN ABS FAILURE. STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO WITH AN OCCASIONAL HAPPENING NOW IT HAS HAPPENED UP TO 3 TIMES PER DAY. SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT SLOWER SPEEDS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. CITY DRIVING SO FAR BUT CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY OF THIS CONTINUING. DEALER SEEMS TO HAVE NO CLUE AT THIS POINT OR ARE JUST PLAYING DUMB BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF FORUMS WITH PEOPLE DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE.
